I Have a Compass for Opportunity

Liou Yuan’s prayers seemed to have worked.

The array disc was embedded into the stone platform for three breaths.

Bang!

Blinding bright yellow light suddenly erupted from the stone platform.

The light spread along the surrounding array patterns, instantly covering the valley engraved with array lines.

Every array line started to disseminate the power of the array, converging together, bursting into dazzling brightness in the night, and for a moment the heaven above the valley was as bright as day.

"It’s done!" Liou Yuan bathed in the brilliance of the Star Shining Celestial Array, his tense body slowly relaxing, his face brimming with excitement.

This was his first attempt to repair a Foundation Establishment Array, and heaven did not disappoint his efforts, finally showing results.

At the same time, the activation of the Star Shining Celestial Array drew in the starlight brilliance from the heavens.

Stars showered beams of light into the valley within.

Centered on the valley, mysterious star-like colors began to cover the Qingxiao Sect, until it enveloped the entire Qingxiao Sect.

The spread of light didn’t stop, it continued to encompass Qingbao County at the foot of Qingxiao Sect’s mountain.

Whether in Qingxiao Sect or Qingbao County City, all were situated within the protective realm of the Star Shining Celestial Array.

At that moment, whether disciples in Qingxiao Sect or residents in Qingbao County, all saw the grand barrier risen by the array.

"The Immortal Sect Array is back!"

"We no longer have to suffer disturbances from those demons, finally we can sleep peacefully."

"I said Qingxiao Immortal Sect would definitely protect us well."

...

The city dwellers were unusually excited, shouting the name of Qingxiao Sect.

Only those who knew the truth knew whose help the rise of the array relied upon.

Within the Wind Chasing Division courtyard, Tian Qiweng and members of Wind Chasing Division stood in the center of the courtyard, watching the encompassing heavenly array, each wearing expressions of astonishment and delight.

The astonishment was at Liou Yuan actually succeeding, succeeding in repairing the array.

That was the Foundation Establishment Array! If he could repair the Foundation Establishment Array, wouldn’t that mean Liou Yuan had the proficiency to set up a Foundation Establishment Array?

How old is he, every one of those Foundation Establishment Array Masters are Great Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The delight was in knowing Liou Yuan was one of their Wind Chasing Division, undoubtedly making them the first batch to benefit from upcoming actions.

"This matter must be reported, our Five Extremes Mountain has produced its fourth Foundation Establishment Array Master, and it’s from our Wind Chasing Division."

"Imagine how delighted the elders from the Disciplinary Hall would be!"

Tian Qiweng mused happily.

A Great Foundation Establishment Cultivator is not necessarily a Foundation Establishment Array Master, every Foundation Establishment Array Master is a treasure of the Five Extremes Mountain.

"Liou Yuan junior brother really succeeded." Yi Qingyue covered her mouth, shocked, looking at the array covering the city from above.

"With this array, finally we get some peace." Jia Panshan focused more on practicality.

Elsewhere, at the moment the array rose.

Bu Moying, still recuperating within Qingxiao Sect, sensed it immediately, looking up at the familiar array barrier stretching over Qingbao County, the senior disciple bearing the responsibility of guarding the sect and city showed a mixed joy on his face after months of tension.

Uttering, "Star Shining Celestial Array! Mr. Liou really succeeded!!"

He then gathered his spiritual power, rushing towards the rear mountain valley.

There, he happened to see Liou Yuan concluding the final work.

Bu Moying obviously sensed Liou Yuan’s fatigue, his stubbly face with drooping eyelids looking like he might fall asleep at any moment.

Liou Yuan immediately noticed Bu Moying’s presence.

Turning back, he nodded at him as a greeting, then, holding on with energy, activated the arrays of the Cold River Illusionary Water Array and the Spirit Wood Profound Void Array using the principles of interrelation in the Five Elements Birth and Destruction Array Derivation, adding the power of water and wood arrays onto the Star Shining Celestial Array.

Benefiting from the additional two arrays, the Foundation Establishment Array barrier covering Qingbao County became more substantial.

Do not be fooled by the array barrier of the Star Shining Celestial Array encompassing the city just now.

Only Liou Yuan knew the true strength of the array barrier was actually less than four-tenths of the original array’s power, inferior even to the Foundation Establishment Early Stage Array.

It was barely robust externally but weak internally.

Having added two arrays, the Star Shining Celestial Array’s power now reluctantly reached the level of a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Array.

Liou Yuan assessed the current power of the Star Shining Celestial Array, about fifty-five percent of its original peak power.

"Two peak of Qi Cultivation arrays stacked together only added fifteen percent power."

Liou Yuan was dissatisfied with this result, he anticipated a twenty percent power increase.

"It’s enough to withstand a Great Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the early-stage Foundation Establishment, but encountering mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, this Star Shining Celestial Array is still inadequate."

This was already the limit of what Liou Yuan could achieve.

"It’ll have to do; it’s a Foundation Establishment Array after all, better than having no defense means before." Gazing at the glowing array patterns within the valley, Liou Yuan could only accept this outcome.

Upon thinking that, Liou Yuan withdrew his gaze, smiling slightly at Bu Moying standing silently at the rear who had arrived long before but hadn’t disturbed him.

"Mr. Bu, mission not failed, this Foundation Establishment Array could just barely pass."

"But my skills fall short, this array can only fend off early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Liou Yuan had already clearly stated to Bu Moying before repairing the array, the power of his repaired array might not match that of the past.

The current power reaching that of a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Array was already beyond Bu Moying’s expectations.
